Worth remembering that Virgin buys most of it's content from Sky (and all of it from only 2 suppliers), Eurosport may be part of that deal, so Virgin may also be affected by the tiff.</p> <p>(Don't know if it actually will be)</p> <p>Also remember a tiff a few years ago between sky and virgin when we were Virgin customers (alas not available in my area) and we were notified that sky channels would. I longer be available. They sorted the tiff pretty quickly, suspect same will happen here... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17386#post-241782 Sun, 29 Jan 2017 09:12:23 +0000 Frenchy 241782@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd forgotten tractor pulling exists.</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbkQFIjfIyo" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbkQFIjfIyo</a></p> <p>Still, it's not competitive ploughing, is it?</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj2UvL4EJjQ" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sj2UvL4EJjQ</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17386#post-241781 Sun, 29 Jan 2017 00:12:31 +0000 Greenroofer 241781@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've just watched a very pleasant film that I found in the bowels of Amazon Prime Video. It was called 'Bicycle', and featured Boardman, Burrows and all the usual suspects.</p> <p>It ended on a wonderful moment as the presenter/director's daughter young daughter rode for the very first time and was <em>extremely</em> pleased when she did it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17386#post-241780 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 22:27:38 +0000 crowriver 241780@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"only option for live ski racing though"</p> <p>I'll live. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17386#post-241779 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 22:21:44 +0000 SRD 241779@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Eurosport's got a £19.99 1 year sub (usually £59.99) until the 31st. </p> <p>Not bad. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17386#post-241774 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 19:44:43 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 241774@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Eurosport is only option for live ski racing though, so bad time of year for some to lose it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17386#post-241761 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 13:15:48 +0000 crowriver 241761@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Eurosport only good if you have the leisure time to watch an entire day of Tour De France, Vuelta Espana, etc. I only have that time if I'm on holiday, and frankly if the weather's good I'd rather be out on the bike than inside watching pros on bikes.</p> <p>ITV4 carries highlights of most cycling racing: TdF, Vuelta, Giro, and Tour Of Britain. It's free and has some great old movies on occasionally too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17386#post-241758 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 10:11:22 +0000 gembo 241758@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>To be honest arellcat, you are not selling that channel to me. Virgin send me a letter at least once a week as we had a tele west box hanging off the woodwork in the house when we moved in. Mrs G immediately decreed it should be removed. Might solve our buffering issues though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17386#post-241754 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 00:02:12 +0000 Arellcat 241754@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I watch Eurosport mainly for its coverage of the Dakar rally. Like SRD my feed is from Virgin.</p> <p>It used to show all sorts of other good stuff – the Rachau Hill Climb (since disbanded), the Europa Truck Trials, and the European Tractor Pulling Championships. I now have to tune in to "MotorsTV" to watch the last one. :-/ </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17386#post-241753 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 22:15:23 +0000 SRD 241753@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>we get Eurosport 1&amp;2 on our Virgin package </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17386#post-241752 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 21:27:37 +0000 SimonS 241752@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ta for the heads up.
